Departure
A final morning in onward — a last outing or a slow start as time allows — before the transfer onward and the journey home.
The season changes what you see.
Dry season
Peak safari: floodwater fills the Delta, animals crowd the rivers and thinning cover makes for outstanding game viewing.
Green season
Summer rains bring newborns, migrant birds and big skies; the Kalahari and pans come alive and rates drop sharply.
